Ploughmans Bakery was born and bred in NZ, and we make our bread the same way we’ve always made it, with care. Using only ingredients that make us smile when taking that first bite, like the generous helping of kibbled grains milled in the South Island, that give our Country Grains loaf its wonderful crunchy texture. The result? Hearty bread. Honest bread, worth savouring and sharing. Real bread that’s more than equal to whatever you can cram on top of it, jam in between it or dunk it into making every mouthful memorable.
